Recommendation for Future Studies

In this research, we aimed to evaluate the glass as construction material of tall building.

We investigate several attributes of glass such as its tolerance ability, profiling, safety and feasibility in different climates. This research suggests that future researchers must have a wide world to explore glass material. They should have a great prospect to search research and do experimental analysis of glass. Incorporation of glass with other element can also open a path of new research and study. Future researchers may also investigate application of glass of facade in tall buildings and can present new ideas.

The analysis of glass type‟s profiles can bring another option to expand the area of research and studies.
